In the session Makers of India, Guha was quoted as saying that the historians have been marginalised and history has been re-written. Guha opined that the global popularity has been increasing whereas Gandhi is getting marginalised in today's India. The paradoxical attitude of PM Modi, who showcased Gandhi before foreign officials was highly criticised.

Guha also added that Gandhi's messages are relevant in many part of India, where muslim minorities are vulnerable and insecure. Guha concluded by saying that it is an absolute disgrace to have ministers like Yogi Adityanath ruling our states.
